Kenneth Faried-B

The Manimal had a somewhat odd game. His number didn’t boggle any minds but yet, he still managed to shoot 100%.

He seems to have actually improved defensively. Faried actually got a couple blocks and grabbed 5 boards, but he had a terrible +/- at -9.

This shows that Faried may still be trying to adjust to his new bench role, but it is still showing promise in this new-look rotation.

With time, Faried may be able to put up his old numbers while providing a major boost off the bench with the second unit.
